232: Licensees to keep record of managers, acting managers, and temporary managers

You could also call this:

"Keep a record of who manages your alcohol-selling business, including their details, for at least 2 years."

If you have a licence to sell alcohol, you must keep a record of the managers, acting managers, and temporary managers of your premises. You need to record the information required by the regulations made under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 for each manager. This information must be kept in a way that you can easily read or retrieve it.

You must keep this information for at least 2 years after you record it. The regulations made under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 will tell you what information you need to record.

The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 has more details about this, and you can find the amended version of section 232 on the legislation website.
